Critical Thinking: Tools for Taking Charge of Your Professional and Personal Life15 reviews
Richard W. Paul, Linda Elder

FT Press, 2002

A useful guide to thinking critically.
The introduction to this book asserts that the world is becoming both more complex and less liberal as a result of knee-jerk reactions and short-term thinking. In contrast, say Richard W. Paul and Linda Elder, critical thinking helps people cope with the uncertainties of modern life and become more confident in their decisions. By mastering the tools and techniques of critical thinking, they say, ...

I'm in Charge of Celebrations (Aladdin Picture Books)10 reviews
Byrd Baylor

Aladdin, 1995

A 5 Star Celebration of Literacy and Imagination
I use this book in the beginning of each school year with my fifth grade students. It always leads to great discussions about what is important to them and leads into interesting writer's notebook entries. The book is a great tool for inferencing, noticing details, and celebrating the little events in our lives that make us who we are. A good book to use when teaching about differences that ...

Judith Viorst

Aladdin, 1984

I can even top that
I was in the second grade when I first found this book, and subsequently read and memorized each poem. Viorst has an astounding ability to incorporate the hightened emotions of childhood with the reality of aging. She can be whimsical and rhythmic as well as dramatic and mornful. I would recommend buying this for any relative, friend, or yourself no matter what age. I still have my very first ...

A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton (Vintage)73 reviews
Carl Bernstein

Vintage, 2008

A book that all Democrats ought to read
I bought this book because, as a former strong supporter of the Clintons through all of their thicks and all of their thins, I was alarmed at how angry I am becoming now at their current behavior in the primaries. It was described as "sympathetic," and I was hoping to find things there to admire in order to take a more moderate view of her and what seemed to me to be an almost pyschopathic ...

Warren G. Bennis, Burt Nanus

Collins Business, 2003

A Great One!
Of all the books I have read on leadership, I will have to put this one in the top five.

Their revision is greatly welcome by those of us who enjoy reading leadership literature. I highly recommend this book. 		  
  







  
  
Getting Things Done When You Are Not in Charge10 reviews
Geoffrey M Bellman

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2001

Affirmed to change the world
A fresh reminder of how leaders are powerless without followers, and how "the rest of us" can change the way our world and our organizations operate. "Dreams are not realized through small investments of energy, and leaders portray this. Leadership can be seen as energy collected, directed, and released toward a future vision. " "Belief in what could be and confidence in your supporters' ...

Julie W. Kelly, Rosalie Devonshire

Fibromyalgia Educ Systems Inc, 2005

Actually Does What it Says...!
This book is such a wonderful surprise! I call it my Fibro Bible and I refer to it regularly! The title suggests that it will give you all "you need to know" to help you cope with this illness, and it DOES! It's very comprehensive, factual, and is written by two nurse practitioners who work with FM patients and if I'm not mistaken they too suffer from Fibro. This book contains such a ...

This is an excellent book that expresses the current confusion of public school governance.

A Charge to Keep : My Journey to the White House113 reviews
George W. Bush, Mickey Herskowitz, 2001

brought tears to my eyes
I recently saw someone reading this book which I had never heard of before so I looked it up on Amazon. This tome was so moving and uplifting it brought tears to my eyes. Okay, I admit it wasn't the book itself but the reviews. And they weren't tears of joy or hope but tears of hysterical laughter. There were three categories - each engrossing in it's own way: the honest critique, which ...

Flashman at the Charge (Flashman)27 reviews
George MacDonald Fraser

Plume, 1986

Flash is Getting Soft!
After reading "Flash for Freedom," with its nauseous blatant racism expressed through Flashman's perspective, I began to wonder why I was drawn to the series. Even in the Spanish picaresque novels, rogues tend to mature in their skullduggery. But I already had "Flashman at the Charge" in the exercycle pile, so I plunged in. I'm glad I did. This is the most successful episode yet, in terms of ... 		  
  







  
  
Taking Charge of Anger: How to Resolve Conflict, Sustain Relationships, and Express Yourself without Losing ...11 reviews
W. Robert Nay

The Guilford Press, 2003

Provides a way to identify behavior issues AND gives methods to change them.
I have been greatly helped by this book. I've read others and had lackluster results mainly because they focus on identifying and classifying issues but fall short when it comes to weponizing the reader with techniques that achieve results. This text (like some others) begins by drawing the reader in with situational examples mapped to a breakdown of the underpinning anger types. There are ...
